Reporter: "I'm here at the Front Street gym with the Grand Wizard of Boxing who will be making a statement about last night's pay-per-view in lieu of the normal press conference."
Man In The Hat: "Thanks, Smackeroo. Didn't want to do a presser last night, because there was too much goin' on, so, we're gonna handle this this way today. First, congratulations to everybody who came up big yesterday, including all the champions who looked great in title defenses. Secondly, I'm gonna do something I don't do very often around here, and that's express some disappointment."
Reporter: "Go on."
Man In The Hat: "Fact is, this stable has not come up big this year. It's early, sure, but we have exactly TWO pay-per-view wins all year. On the big stage, we are not getting the job done. And, this is, shall we say, not going to stand. We worked awfully hard to get to the point where we were one of the major players in the FCBA and we are not going to sit back and be relegated to second class status while stables like Lookout! and LCA win big fights all over the place. I'm getting a little tired of us spitting the bit. In fact, I'm getting a LOT tired of it."
Reporter: "So, what does that mean?"
Man In The Hat: "Well. See, when Old Wiz first came to the FCBA, he had a reputation as a major SOB. That wasn't exactly deserved, but, it served me well. Now, I'm gettin' a different reputation...a reputation as a NICE guy who loves all his girls and has INFINITE FREAKIN' PATIENCE. Well. That's not exactly deserved, either, because my patience CAN be exhausted...and they're gettin' pretty tired. So, as of today, Front Street Boxing is taking a step back to re-evaluate where we are."
Reporter: "And, how will that affect things?"
Man In The Hat: "We will not participate in the May pay-per-view. The May Asylum will go forward, of course, but, that will be the extent of our activity in the month of May. We will be using that time to decide where we are as a stable and where we're going...and what changes we need to make to remain a major player in this-here federation. Changes. Plural. Because, again, my patience are getting very, very tired. So. Everything is up for review. Nobody's job is safe. Nobody's. Not even mine. End of statement."
